Lions entertain seniors

Some 84 of Kilcullen's senior citizens enjoyed themselves on Friday night at the annual Mass and Social organised by Kilcullen Lions Club. The event was held in the Parish Centre, and it was the third time that the Lions hosted it.



Lions President Ray Stewart said he was very happy to see all the guests enjoying themselves. He thanked Fr Murphy and Fr Andrew O'Sullivan for their involvement, and also the core organisers from the Lions Club, Eileen Doyle, Sheila Peacocke, Mary Berney and Frances Clare ... as well as everybody else who helped on the night.

Commenting on the fact that it was the third year in which the Lions had organised the event, he said that he hoped it would continue for many more years to come.

"And from the look of you down there, it seems that you all will be around for years and years to come," he added to loud applause.

Music for the entertainment after the meal was provided by John Kelly, and there were also contributions from party helpers and the guests. One of the highlights of the the night was when Fr Murphy sang the Christy Moore classic, 'The Reel of the Flickering Light'.

Marion Callan and Patsy Halloran also presented party pieces, and Bernard Berney performed one of his inimitable soliloquies.
